DRILL-VISIE.

No. 927,381. Specification of Letters Patent. Patented July 6, 1909.

Application filed July 6, 1908. SerialNo. 442,055.

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, Jnssn C. Sooee1Ns,a citizen of the United States,:residing at Vichita, in the county of Sedgwick and State of Kansas,have invented a new and useful Drill-Viso, of which the following' is aspecilicatioir This invention relates to vises for holding work 1nvarious positions, and has especial reference to vises for supportingwork beneath a drill during the drilling operation.

The invention has for its object to provide an improved vise of thiskind by means of which the work may be supported on a base, and held. atany angle while being drilled.

The .invention also `has foi` its object to provide a vise of this kindwhich maybe used either vertically or horizontally.

The invention consists of an improved vise of this character, and indetails thereof as hereinafter set forth and claimed.

Referring' to the drawing: Figure 1 is a side view of a vise constructedin accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a side View thereof inlongitudinal section. Fig. 3 is an end view in vertical section on theline X-X Fig'. 2. Fig. 1 is a vertical section on the line Y-Y Fig. 2.

ln carrying out the invention the vise is constructed with cylindricalmember 1, formed with. the rectangular )ortion i2 on its top havingI anopen ended longitudinal T- shaped. slot 3 and a serrated top surface l,mount id on the top of the portion 2 is a relatively fixed jaw 5 havinga transverse tooth 6 adapted to engage with the serrated surface 1. Thejaw 5 is movable over the top of portion 2 and is held in adjustedposition thereon, by means of screw 7 having a square head 8 located inthe slot 3 and slidable therein.

A wing nut 9 on the upper part of screw 7 clamps the jaw 5 in adjustedengagement with. the serrated surface 4 on the top of portion 2. Thecylindrical member 1 is formed vat one end with a tubular projection 10,which rests, and is adapted to turn in the cylindrical passage way 11 ofa work supporting standard 12 having a square top or table 13 on whichthe work is supported. The standard. 12 is formed with a circular base14, which is concave on its underside, and has a T-shaped slot 15. Aconvex base plate 16 having a T-shaped projection 17 is seated in thebase 14 and is secured thereto by means of the projection 1 7 which ismovable in the slot 15 in the base 14 and engages therewith. Extendingthrough the tubular projection 10, and into a cylindrical chamber 18, inthe cylindrical member 1 is the tubular internally threaded shank 19 ofa movable jaw 20, said shank being in screw threaded engagement with ascrew rod 21 having its outer end held to turn in a fixed collar 22 andprojecting through an opening 28 in the end. of chamber 18 andterminating in a socket head 24 with a handle 25 slidable therein.

The lower side 26 of a shank l) is formed flat, and located between theflat side 26 of shank 19 and the inside of tubular projection 10 is aflat pin 27 having a projection 28 engaging a hole 2Q in the side oftubular projection 10. By this means the shank 1Q is held from tu rningin the tubular projection, moving lengtliwise on the tubular projection10, by the bent end 30, of a pin 27 which projects in front of the lowerpart of base 12.

lt will readily be seen that the jaws 5, and 2O and their several partsand connections being carried by the tubular projection l0, and thelatter being adapted to rotate in the standard 12, that the jaws 5 and20 and the work held thereby may be located at any angle relative to thebase while the work is supported on the table 1.3.

To hold the jaws and the several parts of the vise in such adj ustedjjiositions, one end of the standard 12 is provided with a circularseries of notches 31 in one en d with which a detent or pin 32 mountedin hangers 33 on the cylindrical portion 1 is adapted to adjustablyengage. The pin is thrown into engagement with notches 31., and held inlocked engagement thereby by means of a coiled spring 34, mounted on andsecured to the pin 32 and abutting against one of the hangers 33. Eachof the jaws 5, and 2O is formed with an offset 35, to adapt a flat pieceof instal to be gripped edgewise between them.

The outer end of the tubular shank 19 is formed with a concave base witha T- shaped slot 37 formed therein similar to the base 14C whereby thevise may be secured to the base late 16. By this means the vise may belicated in a vertical position for drilling purposes, as well as in thehorizontal position when standard 12, with its base 14 and plate 16 isused.

As an additional means for holding the vise from turning in its base, ascrew 38 is provided which extends through a hole 39 in the side of thestandard l2 and impinges against the tubular projection 10.

Having thus described the invention, I claim:

1. In a device ofthe character described, a standard having a Worksupporting table on its top, a vise adjustably rotatable in saidstandard; and means for locking the vise in adjusted position withrespect to said Work supporting table.

2. In a device of the character described, a standard having aconcaveslotted base; a detachable convex base plate seated in and secured tosaid concave base a vise having a fixed jaw and a movable j aw mountedon a slidable shank the outer end of said shank having a concave slottedbase adapted to receive and retain said convex base plate.

3. In a device of the character described, a standard having acylindrical passage Way, and a Work supporting table on its top; a viseadjustably rotatable in the standardand having a main portion with atubular proj ection located in said cylindrical passage Way in thestandard and adapted to turn therein a fixed jaW mounted on the mainportion of the vise; a movable jawrprovided With a shank extendingthrough, and slidable in said tubular projection, and means for lockingthe vise in adjusted position with respect to said Work supportingtable.

V4. In a device ofthe character described, a standard having acylindrical passage Way, and a Work supporting table; a vise adjustablyrotatable in said standard, and having a main cylindrical portion formedwith a tubular projection located in and adapted to turn in thestandard, a relatively `fixed adjustable jaw mounted on the main portionof the vise, a movable jaw with a cylindrical shank extending throughand slidable in said tubular projection means for holding' said shankfrom turning and means for locking the vise in adjusted position withrespect to said work supporting table,

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixedmy signature in the presenceof two Witnesses.
